A 528 level 70 is the main fucking character

how, my chars I plan on levelling are mostly all at cap except monk and warlock smh

At best I can fast queue and blast with the monk,

but that's it

warm plinth
#

I dont have any geared alts anyways so

tribal wharf
pallid quiver
#

i mean if they're level 70, they're geared

waxen frigate
#

A 528 level 70 is the main fucking character

like the quests

waxen frigate

Why did that double send

I don't have a 528 level 70

tribal wharf

all i had was 489 warrior and 470 pala/dk

pallid quiver
#

I saw an Arcane mage kill a boss in two arcane missiles

not channels, two of the missiles from one channel

waxen frigate
#

I think I hit fyralath>thunderclap>mortal strike>overpower as arms

#

And first boss of stone vault was dead

warm plinth
#

I do need to learn the dungeons though

pallid quiver
#

you're not learning the dungeons other than layout

tribal wharf
#

thats not a bad thing, example the mine carts

pallid quiver
#

I know one mechanic off of bosses after all the dungeons I've done

warm plinth
#

I've only been inside one of them

austere oar
#

How do you guys feel about Dawnbreaker

pallid quiver
#

and that's the right boss in stonevault summons a murder fuck you pillar if he lives long enough

tribal wharf
#

i misseed the minecart option once or twice, thats a time loss in keys which is vital to not time loss

pallid quiver
tribal wharf
#

so, i think the follower dungeons help

austere oar
tribal wharf
#

its like, when u play mario 1 oldschool 1 player by self and learn

#

no pressure, no timer

#

u just see it and learn

waxen frigate
#

I mean, so is prot warrior tbh. Let me illustrate

waxen frigate
#

**1. Gearing Up: In DOOM, you know that picking up the right weapons and armor is crucial. In Protection Warrior, your gear is just as important. You’re looking for heavy plate armor and a big ol’ shield. Strength and stamina are your bread and butter here—think of them like the health packs and ammo that keep you going. The better your gear, the more punishment you can take and dish out.

**2. Your Arsenal: Your main weapons are your abilities, and each one has a purpose, like the weapons in your DOOM arsenal:

  • Shield Slam: This is like your super shotgun—a hard-hitting ability that uses your shield to slam the enemy. It’s got a short cooldown, so use it whenever it's up.
  • Revenge: Think of this as your rocket launcher—a powerful AoE attack that hits multiple enemies. It’s great for clearing out crowds, just like when you're surrounded by demons.
  • Thunder Clap: This is your crowd control. It slows enemies down, just like hitting them with a well-placed frag grenade. Use it to keep mobs from overwhelming you.
  • Ignore Pain: Consider this your medkit. It absorbs damage, letting you stay in the fight longer. Activate it when you're about to take a big hit, just like grabbing a health pack when your health is low.

**3. Tanking: In DOOM, you’re always on the move, dodging attacks and dishing out damage. As a Protection Warrior, you’re still in the thick of it, but your job is to be the big, scary target that enemies focus on while your team deals the damage. You pull enemies towards you with abilities like Taunt (think of it like attracting aggro in DOOM) and keep them there with your high threat abilities.

**4. Positioning: Just like in DOOM, where you’re always trying to get the best angle on your enemies, in WoW you need to position yourself well. Face enemies so that your shield is up front, and keep them grouped up in front of you for maximum control and damage.

**5. Resource Management: Instead of ammo, you’re managing Rage. Abilities generate Rage, and you spend it on your heavy-hitters and defensive abilities. It’s like keeping an eye on your ammo count—don’t run out of the good stuff when you need it most.

**6. Awareness: In DOOM, you’re always aware of your surroundings, right? Same here. Watch out for enemy abilities, keep an eye on your health and resources, and be ready to react. Situational awareness will keep you alive longer.


Think of playing a Protection Warrior like being the Doom Slayer, but instead of mowing down demons, you’re holding the line against hordes of enemies, protecting your team, and making sure you’re the last one standing. It’s all about timing, positioning, and knowing when to use your abilities—just like in DOOM, but with a sword and shield instead of a BFG.

@cosmic canyon im not 100% on that one btw, mini avatars usually are fucky

warped badge

helped me alot!

austere oar
#

You also don't want to base your survivability around RNG procs

lusty grotto
#

either way its not worth over UF

#

yeah i think he meant because of mini avatars and TLs

#

not specifically mini walls

ionic fern
#

With all the new faces lurking here ..makes me wonder.

lusty grotto
#

oh shit mwahi is shitposting

cosmic canyon
#

it's also "on demand" if I need it, if I self-cast avatar.

#

However, I'm uncertain if it actually triggers from the 'synergy' suggestion I wrote above.

austere oar
#

The main point is you don't need it

cosmic canyon
#

tested it in a dungeon didn't feel/hear it happen but could've been me being tired.

cosmic canyon

I mean if sw triggers perhaps I don't have to use X or Y in that window or rely on team healer to keep me full etc.

there is no such scenario

austere oar

But yeah I understand the interrogation whether MT procs mini shield

#

What if it procs just before downtime

Or when you're not even tanking

Is it just me or are others experiencing this... I'm being set to defensive stance whenever I log back in.

You're a tank youre not here to do dmg

they wanted to default a stance so people didnt run without one

#

You wanna maximise rage generation as prot warrior and revenge (unless you're colossus) is not a good button

lusty grotto
#

once again the state of your IP does not matter

strong forum
#

So you wanna send SS and TC as often as you can, and revenge as filler/aoe deep wounds applier

#

You're maximising your dmg output by sending ignore pain rather than revenge to dump rage

That's how pwar works

ask the authors in their wago page comments

And make sure to check for exact spell ID

And yeah they only load when the buff is active

I got the same for prot. There it works

Do you have load options set to only arms or fury?

strong forum

Is the spec trigger set properly? I had this same issue with a fury pack imporperly loading in prot

His load condition is arms

dusky canopy

🤔

Which is correct

lusty grotto
#

there's a role condition as well

#

if they scroll down

strong forum
#

But check the talent loads

lusty grotto

its how i load luxthos for arms/fury only and not for prot

strong forum
#

Of the load on talents

shy python
#

Hmm no.. ;/

strong forum
#

There's so many things to check rn on WAs

That can fuck it up

yeah I want to say everything below spec should be unchecked

#

You guys dig the packs?

lusty grotto
#

yeah its a new one for me too

#

they look decent

jagged gust
#

everything is loading on demand for me and there's no issues with the triggers, did you do any custom work on this WA since originally importing it? When did you first import it?

#

it doesn't have a WW tracker though, which kind of annoys me

strong forum
#

Cuz WW is replaced by Cleave

#

literally

lusty grotto
#

was gonna say

dusky canopy
#

Such a good change

strong forum
#

Also you don't need to track WW

#

Cuz it doesn't have a CD

dusky canopy
#

Having both was so bad

lusty grotto
#

on any spec

strong forum
#

Same as you don't need to track slam

#

Cuz it also doesn't have a CD

jagged gust
#

meat cleaver I mean

strong forum
#

That's fury

lusty grotto
#

now if only they changed WW to turn into Revenge so people would stop asking

strong forum
#

And fury also doesn't have cd on WW

#

So you just track the buff stacks

#

Not the ability

strong forum
#

But we got it back for some reason

dusky canopy
#

Ehh it’s a me thing probably but I make “dummy” WAs for abilities like slam so that way the WA suite aligns with my hot bars and then I hide my hot bars

#

Fucks with my brain if I don’t do that

jagged gust
#

dude I got it so twisted, nim linked the fucing fury package and I was testing it lmfao

lusty grotto
#

i 'member

strong forum
#

I did that with revenge, but it's honestly pointless to track these days

#

I think as Colossus prot I'll hide revenge tbhlad

lusty grotto
#

lol thats the first one i found

strong forum
#

Cuz otherwise the bar gets too long

lusty grotto
#

i didnt know they were split by spec

strong forum
#

Actually it's sometimes good to know when revenge is free

#

During execute

#

But I don't want to add the buff to my buff tracker

#

Too much clutter

I think I'll leave revenge where it is actually

When that first TB hits

jagged gust
#

I dunno guys, I tested all 3 Doctorio WAs, the only one that had an issue was an "is alive" trigger that was disabling certains buffs from being tracked situationally under prot

lusty grotto
#

tag yanthir or w/e

#

he probably changed a custom option or something

jagged gust
lusty grotto
#

he should just delete WA and reimport it

#

seems like the best and only solution

#

well, other than looking at all load conditions

jagged gust
#

If it's prot specifically change the "is alive" under general for buffs to unticked, otherwise simply reinstall as the others don't have that issue and fresh install tracks everything I tested for (except meat cleaver)

strong forum
#

Only reason I can tell is lack of block uptime

#

Besides that, no shot could I tell that I have less than 20% haste

#

Maybe cuz everything is dying in 0.3 seconds

#

And in the open world shit is lagging

#

So haste is useless anyway

I love how they fixed first boss in Dawnbreaker not moving due to spell queueing by lettting her teleport all over

Drw is a crutch

Think she would teleport by any aggro from range

Due to the moving boat and how they fixed her

If you move out of range at certain times during her casts she teleports to you during the fight as well

a crafted shield might give you a leg up on our most important slot

jaunty arch

my guild will do mostly hc

lusty grotto

but...

pallid quiver

Shield's most important stat is ilvl, so if the highest ilvl shield you can get is a craft, you want one

but crafted ilvl is capped blow the max possible ilvl to obtain

rend is in the protection tree

yea, but the "if you have rend then thudnerclap applies rend" used to be in the warrior tree

Heroics are probably about a usual skill level. The biggest issue with tanking heroics literally right now is that most people will be expecting you to know everything so they can speedrun dungos

pretty much

only haste shields are in mists and one more

iirc

i know theres 2 in the returning dungeons

they could secretly add on to grim batol out of nowhere

lusty grotto

pretty sure one of them is grim batol

i could be wrong

pallid quiver

Unless they change it from the dungeon journal, that's crit/mast

lusty grotto
#

i checked during beta, and i know for sure Mists is one of them

#

oh

pallid quiver

but they could change grim batol's entire loot table since

But it would be super funny for them to randomly bring back dodge/parry/etc stats

could be siege

so that leaves NW

not nw either

so just mists i guess

is this the new meta build?

wary heath

Roar nerfed and spear does more dmg

lusty grotto

roar isnt nerfed, it got SL capped

its just slightly lower damage, so we play spear as MT

#

especially when we break 2pc

rigid hull
#

i see

#

it seems fun

#

bigger crits

#

for everyhting

lusty grotto

we still play roar as colossus

rigid hull

theres no way i save 2 pc ye?

lusty grotto

you do

rigid hull

hmm

#

which pieces?

#

shoulder and gloves i guess

lusty grotto

probably not chest and helm

#

so yeah

rigid hull
#

alright sir

lusty grotto
#

shoulder and gloves is the best bet, least amount of stats

pallid quiver

It only increases the damage while roar's active

pallid quiver

since in the end, it won't really matter; Heroics are easy enough you don't need the tier

🤔

wary heath
#

Roar was nerfed, yes

rigid hull
#

we still do haste crit?

lusty grotto
#

correct

lusty grotto
#

thunderous words was nerfed, not roar

#

it was SL capped

#

we still use it as colossus

wary heath
#

Does roar generate rage anymore nim

lusty grotto
#

why does that matter

#

since when do we need roar for rage?

#

thats absolutely not something we worry about

#

do we spec roar for rage with colossus? the hero talent tree with less rage gen?

#

because we do

#

so why does rage intake matter

wary heath

Roar and its capstone were nerfed , but you seem really upset haha, so ok

hello, im gonna ask a real noob question. playing as prot for the first time. got 4 set and very good gear from df s4. at what point to i start going out of the setbonus from df? got solid gear in bags that would take me from 544 -> 560 but i'm not too sure how much i lose out on not having the set bonus. sim says switch but i don't always trust sims, especially not for tanking

i assume it's just say goodbye to old stuff generally, but like i said, i'm really not sure how that works with previous set bonuses

If your sim says to switch, then switch

You can trust em

If you break 4pc you technically should also start playing spear
